For operators looking for versatility and options, check out the Rocket School Bus by Universal Space.

This product is available in two flavors: A standard kiddie ride or upgrade it with a monitor to make it interactive with a video game!

As a standard kiddie ride (pictured to the right), it seats up to three children at once and offers a gentle swaying motion. The ride features dual bench seating and a durable fiberglass shell painted with vibrant colors and given additional highlights with color changing LEDs. Kids also have access to an attached steering wheel that allows them to use their imagination as the ride goes.

For the version with a monitor, this becomes a kid-friendly and education video driving game. The player takes control of a school bus, learning about directions & traffic signs as well as animal names as they pick up different animals along their route. Operators can also add a ticket dispenser to have this serve as a redemption title. Check out this game in action here, via the manufacturer:
